Abstract: A light guide (8) is used to couple as much light as possible from an imagin g source (1) having a large numerical aperture into a fiber optic component (7 ) with a relatively smaller numerical aperture. A tapered cladded rod, tapered  fused bundle of optical fibers, tapered hollow reflective tube, CPC or negative lens when used as a light guide, provides for efficient coupling of  light into a fiber optic component without loss of flux density. Such a syst em is especially advantageous when used with an imaging source that produces a very small image spot size with high numerical aperture, such as one produci ng a 1:1 image like a spherical off-axis reflector.

Patent CA-2398019-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BENNETT JOSEPH MICHAEL
IPC: A62C35/02
Filed: 2000-01-21
Abstract: A compact, affordable fire extinguishing system utilizes a combination for compressed inert gas tanks (1) and solid propellent gas generators (3) to provide a blend of inert gasses to extinguish fires in an enclosure (12). The compressed inert gas tanks may contain gasses such as argon or carbon dioxide or a combination thereof. The solid propellent gas generators may generate upon initiation either nitrogen or carbon dioxide or a combination thereof.  The inert gasses from both sources are blended into a composition that will extinguish fires at concentrations that will allow human occupancy during discharge. Such a system can be constructed at a substantially smaller size than conventional compressed gas systems, due to the greater density of the inert gasses in the propellent form in storage, which allows greater utility and affordability where installation space is limited or retrofit is desired into prior fire protection systems.
Patent CA-2398690-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRENNER CHARLES M
IPC: G01N33/15
Filed: 2001-01-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of using synthetic lethal screening techniques to identify drug targets. The methods of the present invention use "barcoded" libraries of cells, where the library consists of a collection of different mutant clones, each mutant clone bearing a knock-out mutation of a different gene. Each mutant clone has a unique DNA identifier tag, or "barcode", to allow for quick and convenient identification of the clone and its mutation. The use of such a library allows for rapid, quantitative, sensitive and simple identification of genes which interact with a mutated target gene. So identified genes are promising targets for drug screening.

Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: Tasks (T) such as repair jobs on a telecommunications system, that are to be performed by a plurality of resources such as field engineers (E), at different locations in a geographical area (2), are scheduled by means of a scheduler (10) at a work manager server (5). The scheduler provides schedule data (11) corresponding to schedules of the tasks that individual ones of the resources are to carry out, form task data (4) concerning the tasks to be carried out and resource data (6) concerning characteristics of resources available to carry out the tasks over a given period. Not all the tasks are scheduled, resulting in unscheduled task data (11a). The schedule data (11) is downloaded to a workstation (7) together with the unscheduled task data. The downloaded data is analysed at the workstation to determine a candidate resource (E) to perform the task (T) corresponding to the unscheduled task data.

Title: Integrated production of smart cards
Inventor: KEKICHEFF MARC B
IPC: G07F7/10
Filed: 2000-04-11
Abstract: Automated mass production of smart cards is applicable to either single application or multi-application smart cards, and can be customized. A scripting language combines all of the production aspects of a card into a script. The script is applied to a card production system that automatically  produces a custom smart card. To produce a script, a card profile, applicati on profiles, and an issuer profile are used. The card profile describes the resources available on the card and documents the card's software infrastructure, the available resources, memory, applications already on pla ce on the card, the life cycle status of all applications, and physical attributes of the card. Application requirements are documented in an application profile. An application profile identifies the application sourc e code and includes the resource requirements of an application such as memory , operating system version, security, and card physical requirements. For a given card product, the selected application profiles are compared for compatibility. These profiles are checked for compatibility with any number of card profiles to find a suitable card profile. A script is built based upon the selected application profiles and card profile. The script is a natural language description of the functions and datarequired to produce a single- or multi-application smart card. This creation includes initialization and personalization, and the loading of application code when not already in pla ce on the card. An updated card profile is created when a script is produced. T he updated profile describes the card and its resources after an application ha s been loaded, and is used to create a script to load, initialize and personalize applications onto a card post-issuance, or in a multi-step production process.

Abstract: By convening accelerating action of a vehicle into braking action when sudden operation of the accelerator is detected, this device prevents the more serious accident occurred when, in an emergency situation, an inexperienced driver accidentally yes the accelerator pedal, contrary to his intention of pressing the brake pedal. Even for a skilful driver, by eliminating the time required for shifting the driver's foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal, this device minimizes the distance traveled by the vehicle from the time of the detection of the situation to the time of breaking, hence minimizing the damage.

Title: Calibration system of array antenna receiving apparatus
Inventor: AZUMA TOMOHIRO
IPC: H01Q3/26
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: A calibration system of an array antenna receiving apparatus is used for cellular mobile communication systems. In the array antenna receiving apparatus of the present calibration system, a calibration time determining unit (111) determines an adaptive calibration time based on detection voltages of the total reception power inputted to antenna radio receiving units (104-1 to 104-N). Next, a calibration signal processing unit (112) detects phase/amplitude information of a calibration signal from multiplexing signals outputted from the antenna radio receiving units based on the longest calibration time among the calibration times. User signal processing units (108-1 to 108-M) correct outputs from the antenna radio receiving units based on the phase/amplitude information.  Therefore, the deterioration of the reception sensitivity of a user signal to a mobile machine can be prevented and the reduction of the number of users in the cellular system can further be prevented.
